In the embodiment of the application, the target frame rate refers to the frame rate of the whole laser radar, and the scanning frame rate refers to the frame rate of a part scanning device in the laser radar. The scanning device keeps working under the set working parameters, only adjusts the transmitting parameters of the laser radar, and realizes the target working mode of the laser radar. Therefore, the corresponding relation between the luminous point and the angle parameter does not need to be recalibrated.

Optionally, the emitting device of the laser radar emits no light or emits light at all points in the scanning frame, and the light emitting frame is formed by arbitrarily selecting the time period corresponding to the scanning frame, so that the target frame rate which is arbitrarily smaller than the set scanning frame rate can be realized.

Determining a light emitting frame in the laser radar as one frame, two frames or three frames of every four frames in a scanning frame corresponding to the scanning device; one, two or three of the four frames herein may be any one, any two or any three of the four frames.
Alternatively, as an implementation manner, the target working mode of the laser radar includes a target resolution of the laser radar; the setting working parameters of the scanning device comprise setting scanning frame rate; correspondingly, the determining the transmitting parameter of the laser radar according to the target working mode, the set working parameter and the maximum luminous point number of the laser radar includes:

and determining the luminous frame rate of the laser radar, the number of luminous points in a luminous frame corresponding to the luminous frame rate and the position information according to the region of interest of the laser radar, the set scanning frame rate and the maximum luminous point number. Here, the region of interest is determined by the lidar from the actual measurement results, or by the user inputting a corresponding region indication, the lidar is determined from the indication region. And the laser radar determines the number of luminous points and the position information in the corresponding luminous frame according to the luminous frame rate determined by the laser radar.

The number of single light-emitting points which continuously emit light for two or more times in the light-emitting frame is more than two, and the continuous light-emitting intervals of the more than two single light-emitting points can be different; that is, the repetition frequency intervals of different light emitting points in the light emitting frame may be different, that is, the repetition frequency intervals may be set for each light emitting point, respectively, to prevent crosstalk caused between laser signals. In this embodiment of the present application, the continuous light emission interval is a nanosecond interval.
In the embodiment of the application, the target working mode of the laser radar may be determined by the following manner:
receiving an input instruction, and acquiring a target working mode of the laser radar based on the input instruction; or (b)
Generating a target working mode of the laser radar based on the measurement configuration parameters; or (b)
And generating a target working mode of the laser radar according to the current measurement result or the measurement requirement.
The following further clarifies the essence of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application by means of specific examples.
The working mode of the pulse laser radar provided by the embodiment of the application can dynamically adjust the transmitting mode of the laser radar under the conditions that the working parameters of the scanning device are not changed and the index requirements such as the duty ratio of the laser radar are not exceeded, so as to adapt to the requirements of different working modes.
First, the frame rate F of the lidar and the number of light emission points Nmax are determined. F is a certain frame rate adapting to the characteristics of the laser radar and the scanning device thereof, and the maximum achievable frame rate is usually taken; nmax is the maximum number of luminous points which can be realized in the unit time of the laser radar, and the requirements of parameters such as luminous pulse width, maximum duty ratio and the like of the laser radar are required to be met. In the embodiment of the application, nmax is the maximum number of luminous points of the laser radar.
When calibration and calibration are carried out, firstly, calibrating a control parameter of the scanning device at a frame rate F, and recording the parameter; the maximum number Nmax of luminous points of the laser radar is distributed in the scanning plane, and the distribution mode can be determined by self according to requirements, and is generally uniformly distributed, as shown in fig. 2. And at the moment, the corresponding relation between the luminous moment of the laser radar and the angle parameter is calibrated.
In this embodiment of the present application, when the lidar works, the scanning device always works at the frame rate F, and what needs to be dynamically adjusted is a lighting strategy of the lidar, for example, the number and the position of the lighting points and the lighting mode such as single-frequency or heavy-frequency lighting may be adjusted, and the position of the lighting points may be selected from the calibrated Nmax positions. In this way, the laser radar can realize different scanning working modes in a relatively easy way, such as variable frame rate, variable resolution, scanning of the region of interest, adjusting ranging accuracy, adjusting anti-crosstalk function and the like, without adjusting working parameters of a scanning device or adjusting the moment position of the Nmax point, and only performing calibration once.
When the laser radar scanning working mode is designed, defining the number of frames of laser radar luminescence within each second as f, and the number of luminescence points of the laser radar in each frame as n.
In a common case, all luminous points in one frame do not emit light or emit light, and the number F of frames for luminous operation can be arbitrarily selected to meet F being less than or equal to F. When the device works finally, n is less than or equal to Nmax/f, and n luminous points are determined according to Nmax, luminous frame rate, scanning angle of the scanning device and the like. In the non-light emission frame, the laser radar, the photoelectric receiving circuit, and the like may be turned off. The non-light emitting frames may be optional, and may typically be f=1, f=2, f=f/3, f=f/4, f=f/2, f=f, etc. In the different light-emitting frames, n light-emitting points selected between the light-emitting frames may be the same or different.
Assuming that the frame rate F of the scanning device of the laser radar is 20Hz, the maximum number Nmax of light emission points of the laser radar is 10000 points. By controlling the lighting parameters of the lidar, the frame rate of the lidar can be set to any frame rate less than 20 without changing the control parameters of the scanning device. For example, the laser radar is controlled to emit light in odd frames of the scanning device, and not emit light in even frames, i.e. the frame rate of f=10hz can be realized, and n is less than or equal to 1000. Or controlling the laser radar to emit light in even frames and not emit light in odd frames of the scanning device.
In the embodiment of the application, by adjusting the laser light emitting mode, the modes of non-uniform light emitting, heavy frequency light emitting, space-adjustable heavy frequency light emitting, non-light emitting, starting a photoelectric receiving circuit and the like can be realized. The principle of the adjustment mode is as follows: by reducing the number of light emitting frames f or reducing the number of local light emitting points in one frame, more laser radar light emitting resources are left and redistributed to other set light emitting moments. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of luminescence points supported by the lidar according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, in a laser of the lidar, luminescence points in a luminescence frame are arranged in a luminescence line every 2 rows, a solid circle in the figure indicates luminescence points, a dotted circle indicates luminescence points that are not lit, and a lighting manner may be set according to actual test requirements.
The embodiment of the application supports changing the frame rate of the luminous frame and supports dynamic adjustment of the resolution in the laser signal point cloud picture. For example, by decreasing the frame rate f, increasing the value of N/f, increasing the number of light emitting points per frame of light emission, and reassigning these light emitting points, the resolution of the point cloud is increased; the resolution can be reduced in the opposite direction, or the resolution can be reduced by directly selecting non-light emission. The method can dynamically adjust the resolution without changing the operating parameters of the scanning device. The dynamic frame rate and resolution adjustment is very practical when adapting to the detection of target objects with different distances.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of heavy-frequency luminescence supported by the lidar according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, where the lidar according to the embodiment of the present application further supports heavy-frequency luminescence to increase ranging accuracy or ranging distance. The repeated-frequency luminescence is a repeated measurement technology, namely, each luminescence point rapidly and continuously emits laser twice or more at the moment when each luminescence frame arrives, and simultaneously receives echo signals twice or more, and the distance measurement precision or distance measurement distance is improved by means of repeated measurement algorithm processing. The time interval between two or more continuous light emission is usually about tens of nanoseconds (ns) to hundreds of ns, which is very short relative to the scanning time of the scanning device, and does not affect the emission and the reception of laser signals. In the embodiments of the present application, since the laser light is emitted two or more times in succession and then is spatially separated closely, it can be considered that the laser light irradiates the same location of the object. The repeated frequency light emission needs more light emitting points, the scanning device scans according to the parameters of the F frame, the light emitting frame rate F is reduced, or the number n of light emitting points of each frame is reduced, so that laser light emitting resources can be left without changing the working parameters of the scanning angle scanning device, and the process can be dynamically adjusted. That is, by continuous light emission at the light emission points, measurement accuracy can be improved as long as the total number of light emission times in the light emission frame is lower than the maximum number of light emission Nmax of the maximum lidar.
In the embodiment of the application, when the heavy-frequency light emission is realized, the working parameters of the scanning device do not need to be changed. The application also supports the repetition frequency luminescence with adjustable interval, and realizes the laser interference resistance. The interval-adjustable repeated-frequency luminescence refers to repeated-frequency luminescence at each luminescence position, but the internal time interval of two luminescence is adjustable, and the interval of echo and the interval time of luminescence are judged when receiving, so that whether the received laser is emitted by the laser radar can be distinguished, and the interference of other laser radars is resisted. The repetition frequency luminescence with adjustable interval can be realized without changing the working parameters of the scanning device by reducing the luminescence frame rate f or reducing the luminescence point number n of each frame. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of repetition frequency light emission supported by the lidar according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, a repetition frequency interval of the repetition frequency signal continuously emitted by each light emitting point may be adjusted arbitrarily, that is, the repetition frequency interval of the repetition frequency signal continuously emitted by each light emitting point may be different.
The embodiment of the application supports non-uniform light emission and heavy frequency light emission, and can also realize the scanning of the region of interest; assuming that the luminous frame rate is f and the total luminous point number in each frame is N/f, an area of interest can be defined, the number of luminous points is increased in the area of interest, the resolution of the area is improved, or the repeated frequency luminescence is realized at each luminous point, and the ranging accuracy of the area is improved. The scanning of the region of interest can be achieved without changing the operating parameters of the scanning device by reducing the light emission frame rate f or by reducing the number of light emission points n per frame. The scanning points are only required to be reduced at the positions outside the area, so that the total luminous point number of each frame is still less than or equal to N/f. Fig. 6 is a schematic light-emitting diagram of a set area supported by the lidar according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, a solid circle in the drawing indicates a light-emitting point of light emission, a dotted circle indicates a non-light-emitting point, and a light-emitting area is disposed in the middle, and a corresponding region of interest may be further disposed according to actual test requirements.
In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the laser radar does not emit light, the photoelectric receiving circuit can be started, so that the environment perception is enhanced, and the receiving effect is improved; the laser radar does not emit laser, namely f=0, can work in the mode transiently, senses information such as ambient light, laser interference and the like, is convenient for a system to set appropriate working parameters such as photoelectric receiving, algorithm and the like, and improves receiving effect.
The embodiment of the application provides a dynamic adjustment scanning mode for the pulse laser radar, and can adjust the transmitting parameters under the condition of only carrying out light-emitting moment and position calibration on the premise of not adjusting the working parameters of the scanning device, thereby realizing the adjustment of the working mode of the laser radar. Furthermore, only the light emitting time and position of the laser radar are adjusted, so that the variable frame rate, the variable resolution and the set area scanning of the laser radar are realized, and further, the anti-crosstalk function of the laser radar is improved by adjusting the light emitting method of the laser radar, for example, by heavy frequency light emission.
